Detroit can still pass NYI if they lose both their games and Detroit wins both their games.
If Detroit wins both games against Mtl (with one in regulation) to miss they'll need Caps to win both their games and NYI to get two points.
Yeah, Detroit needs to win both, and have other teams lose. They're not in the clinching scenario. NYI & Washington are. NYI can clinch tonight with a win over NJ. I expect them too because NJ has been playing like crap.
Detroit survives with one point, barely, but if they get zero, they're out. Their max point total becomes 89. One of Philadelphia or Washington will equal that tomorrow beating out Detroit on RWs. NYI are already at 90.
